1. Integration and communication within NBDC

• Discussions are numerous between different ends, link to NBDC staff
• What kind of outcomes do we expect from the project to national level plat forms, WG’s
• Bilateral meeting between N3 + N4
• Link the WG’s to the outcomes (OLM’s)
• Focus meetings about the role of NBDC in the platforms
• Find optimal methods of updating Nile project members (seminars, monthly meetings, yammers, WIKI, + formal)
• Focus on outcomes overall more focused efficient meetings between different (+selected people) in the Nile projects (inputs from projects)
• Clear mechanisms about how projects fit into one another
• Nile project leader meeting?
• Who sets the agenda for the regular monthly meetings
• Cross-basin learning
• R4D process learning

2. Research into action

Conventional approach to technology transfer

• Linear

• IP’s

3. Thematic science gaps (gender, CC…)

• Health + nutrition WASH disease (WQ (N,P) – N4
• Scenario development climate change (impact + adaption)vulnerability
• Population drivers – size remittance
• How do we integrate with CRP5 (1, 7)
• Irrigation ?
• FDI V Green economy
• Governance – water rights/WUA - tenure (land)
• Large scale poverty analysis
